Earlier Performances

Europe Tour – July 2016

In July 2016, most of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers along with several other local singers took part in an eight day trip to Salzburg and Prague to sing for a variety of audiences. In Prague, we performed a concert with Cantarina, a local women’s choir, at St. Martin’s Church in the Wall. At times the portable recorder clipped some of the audio peaks.
Here we present several samples from those days for your enjoyment.

  Mozarteum

Our first performance in Salzburg was at the Mozarteum. The hall was beautifully decorated. We sang a number of songs to the great appreciation of our audience. Our tour guide translated for us to ensure our opening remarks for songs were understood. We performed a Canadian program. The first video we have is of us singing “All the Little Rivers of Canada”.

All the Little Rivers of Canada

Members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers augmented with interested singers who took part in the Europe trip to Salzburg and Prague in May 2016, sang the Mi’qmak Song in the Mozarteum. The song involves sounds of a number of different animals sounds inserted in the song. The ending of this performance was a first for us when the last sound – that of a wolf – was made. As it was a hot evening, the windows were open. From outside several dogs responded to the ending wolf howl to add a huge surprise to the ending.

  Salzburg Cathedral

We had the honour to sing at the Sunday morning church service in Salzburg. We sang with two other choirs, the Hastings & Prince Edward Country Regional Chorus (also from Canda), and the Cathedral Choir. We were accompanied by a small orchestra. The three choirs joined to sing the Missa as part of the Mass. We also sang two movements of Handel’s Coronation Anthem. Linda Crawford, our Director, conducted us in the second movement as well as Mozart’s “Ave Verum.” It was very special for each singer and words could not begin to describe it.

  St. Martin’s Church in the Wall, Prague

The performance at St. Martin’s Church in the Wall, Prague involved two choirs – Cantarina, a local women’s choir performed one half of the program and the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers the other half. At times the portable recorder clipped recording some of the audio peaks.
